Moderna Museet should stand
out as a natural centre for Swedish and Nordic art.In
2011, the Museum’s director and co-director, Daniel Birnbaum and Ann-Sofi
Noring, launched the Nordic Collection. This initiative was taken to enable new
acquisitions,with the purpose of enhancing Moderna Museet’scollection of contemporary
Nordic art beyond what can be acquired merely with the government’s annual
allocation.The project yielded donations and acquisitions of
18 works made in 2008 – 2013.”
